ART YARD
The Art Yard at Arkwings is open seven days a week and free to the public. It is an interactive series of five outdoor creativity stations that feature different activities for children and adults alike. One could paint on the community mini mural, share thoughts and feelings at the poetry tree, make music at the rhythms of nature circle, build a gnome home at hobbit town, or pick herbs and seeds from the community garden.
